New Year Resolutions

What are my New Year Resolutions? I am keeping it simple.

1. Post at least 365 days of photos - that is until June 1, 2016 - then take a sanity check.
2. Start exploring beyond the iPhone as camera. I will still use the iPhone for most photos since it is the 'camera' that is with me most of the time. However, I acquired a digital mirrorless camera (APS-C sensor) and will start including pictures in my daily photos. Stay tuned.

What is different?

I was recently asked the question:

"You have now taking a picture a day every day for six months - have you noticed anything different?"

The answer: "Yes, I have"

I find myself being more aware of my surroundings, especially the light, the patterns, the shapes, the colors.

• I am starting to notice how the light falls on my surroundings creating the highlights and the shadows and either brings out or hides the textures.
• I am starting to notice the patterns of nature, the patterns of architecture, and how they often interact.
• I am starting to notice the shapes of objects, whether random, symmetrical, simple, or complex.
• I am starting to notice how colors change throughout the day, throughout the year, and how colors interact with each other.

It is not that I have never noticed these before - but I notice that the blend of light, patterns, shapes, and colors are now more prominent in my mind. There is a difference. Ask me the question again in another six months.

Go out and 'smell the roses', take a picture, and see for yourself!
